    Bring back hand checking, that'll change the way you can defend an opponent

    Flopping is an personal admission that you lack sufficient talent/skills to compete with your opponent in a fair match.

    Sometimes but more often than not, it's a trick to get a good player in foul trouble and create a turnover

    The worse part is NBA refs KNOW the known floppers around the league and continue to let them do it.

    The NBA is corrupt so it's not hard to understand but I honestly believe it's ruining the integrity of the game (flopping) and inflating box scores to make things look bigger.

    Not all NBA refs buy into the culture of flopping. I have a friend who is a long time NBA official, one of the best IMHO. When I first met him, Vlade Divac was one of the most notorious floppers in the league. When I asked my friend about it, he said he wouldn't reward Vlade (or anyone else) for flopping. His exact words were, "I'm not going to do Vlade Divac's job for him".

    The Number One Flopper of ALL TIME is Karl Malone

    I think the collective group of the prime spurs should be the GOAT floppers

    So true. At least, until Harden came along. Same M.O. though. Malone used to crash into the defender, make the bank shot falling down, and get the free throw. He also started his career a lousy free throw shooter, but became a good example of "practice makes perfect".

    I hate to be the grammar police, but I think you misspelled: "a game".

    > I wonder what did he actually say to himself when he was preparing to shoot one of those bullshit foul shots.
    Side Notes; One of his hobbies was collecting exotically painted tractor trailer cabs. He never worked for the esteemed postal service.
